Аннотация: Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), also called infectious atypical pneumonia, is an emerging infectious disease caused by a novel variant of coronavirus (SARSassociated coronavirus, SARS-CoV).It is mainly characterized by pulmonary infection with a high infectivity and fatality.SARS is swept across almost all the continents of the globe, and has currently involved 33 countries and regions, including the mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, North America and Europe.On June 30, 2003, an acumulative total reached 8450 cases with 810 deaths.SARS epidemic was very rampant in March, April and May 2003 in the mainland of China and Hong Kong.Chinese scientists and healthcare workers cooperated closely with other scientists from all over the world to fight the disease.On April 16, 2003, World Health Organization (WHO) formally declared that SARS-CoV was an etiological agent of SARS.Currently, there is no specific and effective therapy and prevention method for SARS.The main treatments include corticosteroid therapy, anti-viral agents, anti-infection, mechanical ventilation and isolation.This disease can be prevented and controlled, and it is also curable.Under the endeavor of the Chinese Government, medical staffs and other related professionals, SARS has been under control in China, and Chinese scientists have also made a great contribution to SARS research.Other studies in developing new detection assays and therapies, and discovering new drugs and vaccines are in progress.In this paper, we briefly review the current status of SARS in China.
